Contrary to initial reports,�SBS will not be airing�"Poseidon" through their network. On February 21st, a representative of SBS's drama center revealed, "Earlier, reports stated that 'Poseidon' would begin airing after 'Midas' this May, but SBS has not once confirmed this. We were in discussion for broadcast rights, but we've decided not to." Instead, the broadcast station is in discussions for other dramas to fill in for 'Midas,' which is scheduled to air its pilot episode on the 28th. This new development marks yet another chapter in Poseidon's lengthy history of mishaps, as the drama was forced to pause its filming after the Yeonpyeong Island skirmish last year. A representative from one of the cast members also revealed that other issues, such as the weather, postponed the recordings 'til March. The Poseidon announcement followed an earlier one about how SBS would not air "What's Up" as well.�On February 20th, SBS's Kim Young Sub CP revealed the reason why the broadcasting network decided to drop the series. "I think we need a new challenge, as well as change. It's not only for the Friday line-up, as we'd like to try new things, in addition to aiding the promotion of the visual industry," he explained. The drama began filming last July and is currently 90% complete in all its pre-broadcast preparations. � Source: Star News, TV Report via Nate
